Shower faucet, water
Each free day I am doing some exercise with aspects I am not really confident. This time I tried fluid simulation, which I did not use before. As it was not animation I used just one stream, and applied different frames of one stream animation to make these multiple(in fact only 12) streams which I randomly distributed. Simple glass shader used for water with 1.333 for IOR. Everything else – nothing special. No external apps – only compositor.

Steam. Competition wining entry
Blendernation started to organize fast weekend competitions. Task of first competition called “Steam” was to make something using smoke simulation. Gladly I won this competition. Most interesting is that I used only procedural textures to make materials of cover and asphalt. Picture above is raw volumetrics shader tryout. So it’s just for interest.

Generic skyscrapers
I started to experiment with modeling skyscrapers from simple forms, then with material shader, describing windows and constructions, but then it turned on such Sci-fi event. Again – only all-mighty Blender3d and it’s native compositor – no painting, retouching in PS. I continued my previous experiment with multi-story buildings made from simple origin forms developed by stack of different modifiers. One of building is same from “Invasion of the City” picture. Still there’s no any retouching, other software – only blender. In this picture I made also clods with smoke simulation. Clouds were rendered separately by masking with layer fo buildings and then I added cloud-pass inside compositor. Compositor setup is almost same as in previous work. Just little corrected balance and colors as clouds added overall brightness.

Aging Base ball
My task was complex: To make believable 3d mesh of well known leather base ball with realistically looking seams. And also make flexible shader so I could dynamically add age to the ball. Needless to say that except decals, all textures and masks used for shader are procedural. I still hope that I could make timelapse alike animation with ball aging.

Camera tracking experiment
Took my phone, filmed while walking, then solved a camera path of the film. Then used this path for this scene with letter and grass combinated with spherical background. Mission completed.
